Seen on bushes opposite my office, when trying to coax our at Loki to either go outside or go take a nap. I’m partially red-green color-blind, so something has to be *really* red for it to stand out to me as red. Once a psychophysicist told me that, since I had three detectors like everyone else, that my vision wasn’t really deficient; my color axes were just skewed from everyone else’s. But that doesn’t take into account the overlap of my red-green detectors, which means there are many instances of color that I can discriminate, but don’t really notice. I … suppose that would disadvantage me if I had to forage for food in the wild rather than at Whole Foods, as I do believe the berries that I would notice would likely be toxic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
